UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10

If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your UNIX host computer, you
will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will
automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the

/usr/spool

directory (check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To create
a new spool directory, use the

mkdir

command. For example, to create a spool directory for the queue

laser1, you would enter:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1

On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX
systems with the

lpc start

command as shown in the following example:

lpc start laser1
